Vlog: Nokia 5800 Review of Share Online

April 3rd, 2009 • Mark Guim • Filed Under •

A cool pre-installed app on the Nokia 5800 and many of Nokia’s current phones is Share Online. You need to see how it looks like on a touch-enabled phone, but I’m sure it’ll be better on a phone with a physical keyboard too like the upcoming Nokia N97. Go watch the video!

Features

I use Share Online to view my friends’ current photos on Flickr. You can flick through the photos, rotate, read comments and even write replies. You can choose how often you’d like Share Online to check for new photos to download. You can also upload your own pictures directly from the phone with titles and descriptions.

The Good

With Share Online, I don’t need to use the web browser to go to Flickr and navigate through pages. I can view photos, read comments and send replies directly from the application. Using the auto-update, photos load up fast and flicking through is fast.

The Bad

I can’t zoom in on photos. I can view them in full screen mode, but can’t get any closer. The interface is okay, but it could use some improvements. I suggest having the full screen view as default while captions or option buttons hide and reappear as you click on screen. Currently, photos shrink to show options, which I think leaves too much unused space.
